FAWM: "Gleamery"

Gleamery

Liner Notes

Gleamery (noun) — glee-muh-ree

That shimmering state of contentment or joy that seems to hover just ahead of you; a blissful satisfaction that catches the light from a distance but proves difficult to hold when pursued directly, often causing one to overlook the quiet contentment already within reach.

Lyrics

Michael Alexander lost in the yarn again Fumbling through the patterns and the threads Fighting off the boredom, hoping he's wrong again - Maybe there's something more to this life From a long way off, his mama's calling after him "Boy, you better get yourself back home"

We're gonna make it through the tangles of this in-between Chasing after gleamery - it's not always what it seems

Poor Sallie May, she's tired of the old way Wishing she could get out of this place The garden is gone and the weeds cover everything It feels like the sun has turned away There's a new horizon, calling from cross the hill "Come and find your joy within our fields"

We're gonna make it through the tangles of this in-between Chasing after gleamery - it's not always what it seems

I love this. Also really appreciate the "dictionary" definition of your word.

Wow! This is the total package: great guitar playing, well-recorded, a beautiful song with poignant lyrics, and amazing vocals. Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

what a great tune and lovely made up word (though if feels like it SHOULD be a real word) Really love the guitar playing as well. Interested to hear what else you write this FAWM!
